The story:

This image was part of a commission to illustrate the history of satellite technology. The commissioning company, SES, wanted an image that specifically communicated the advances in satellite battery technology .

These zero emission batteries have replaced their predecessor: the heavier, less effective nickel cadmium (NiCd), enabling satellites to function while remaining carbon-friendly.

With the help of custom-built giant scales, this image communicates the difference between the cumbersome NiCd and lithium batteries. The models (all former ballet dancers) were also directed so as to reflect the scientific qualities of lithium and nickel cadmium batteries.
